Behave Like A Millionaire

4- Monitor your investments

Wealth is work. Portfolios are like children: If you don't pay attention to them, they might rebel unexpectedly. Keep abreast of the companies you have stakes in and how well the industries in your funds are doing. Read market analyses and financial publications like Forbes and the Financial Times. Get a reliable financial consultant to give you helpful pointers. You'll be enriching your own knowledge of money, an essential trait of the millionaire.

5- Develop foresight

The millionaire makes his bones because he has an amazing eye for opportunity. He sees trends developing and can anticipate the next hot thing, like a new neighborhood on the cusp of booming in the real-estate market. This foresight isn't necessarily naturally endowed; it's developed through a constant study of markets that translates knowledge into a sixth sense. If you develop a keen eye for moneymaking opportunities, others will come to you to bask in your brilliance.

6- Delegate

You can't be an ace in everything, but you can be a master of delegation. Instead of wasting time trying to learn everything, get skilled at handing tasks out. If you have a tax issue, take it to an accountant. If it's a legal matter, hire a lawyer. The money will be well-spent, as it will save you time and help you avoid potential flubs. Good delegation is the cardinal virtue of a good manager. Keep that in mind.

7- Stay focused

The rich man sets out a clear mission for himself with concrete objectives. He keeps an unflinching eye on the prize and never veers from his course. Do the same: Write down your personal vision and what you'll do to get there. Remind yourself of it when you're mired in the daily menial work. Whatever issues you may face, your vision will keep you motivated.

8- Upgrade your purchases

If you've been getting a lot of mileage out of one suit, eventually you'll have to get something more becoming of the high-status male. Give yourself the things you deserve with all your work: a new car, the best room you can afford in a hotel or a plush seat in first class. Though the true millionaire spends his money wisely, he knows it's good for the soul to treat himself now and then.

9- Have specific hobbies

Wealth is synonymous with sophistication. You can hardly be ranked among the true elite if you don't rub elbows with the upper crust. So take up some hobbies that will put you in a position to do so. Join an exclusive gold club or a polo team. Enjoy fine dining, good cigars and quality wines. You'll gain that much more respect when you're good at what the best do best.

the money will follow

Fake it 'til you make it. This bit of street wisdom can apply to just about anything, and success is not exempt. If you can manage to keep up all the habits outlined above, you will have the attitude down pat. And like a moth to the flame, money gravitates to those who know how to handle it with class.
